Under the Mahogany Table

In the fictional Dominion of Meridia, the death of an investigative journalist unveils a labyrinth of sovereign immunity shielding a corrupt fiscal oversight board. Idealistic attorney Elara Vance and haunted detective Marcus Cole are drawn together to pursue a powerful official, only to find themselves torn apart by the chasm between legal procedure and moral justice. As the case unravels, the true pathology of their society is discovered not in courtrooms, but hidden in the suffocating silence beneath an ordinary family's dining table, revealing that the quiet violence of domestic control can be more lethal than any blade.
